Tons of stories of police abuse are coming out about the latest ICE/CBP surge into Minnesapolis.
In this account of an attempted ICE abduction a pastor explains how he volunteered to be arrested when he saw ICE snatching a young hispanic woman.
Agents pointed guns at his head and eventually did detain him only to let him go a short while later stating:
"You're white so not much fun taking you in"
Several video angles from the ICE incident at Minneapolis' Roosevelt High have emerged.
In this video agents can be seen firing teargas at high school students and educators.
Huge crowds of thousands marched through Minneapolis tonight.

Not quite sure how/why this video was released but footage of Renee Good's last moments as filmed by murderous ICE/CBP goon Jon Ross have come out.
This video shows Ross walking around the car while agents shout conflicting orders.
Again, I think its super important to note that this goon was filming on a phone(wtf?), why not a bodycam?
Bodycams are better for this task bc it allows cops to have situational awareness and not be thinking about their IG live.
@nullagent a prevailing theory is it was leaked by them to make Good look guilty of being a visibly queer woman. That was her offense more than any action. And he was using his phone because the whole project is content displaying domination. No different than Noem posing in front of the cages at CECOT. They are making the content they wish they had seen instead during 2020.
Again, I think its super important to note that this goon was filming on a phone(wtf?), why not a bodycam?
Bodycams are better for this task bc it allows cops to have situational awareness and not be thinking about their IG live.
I can already see the cops planning to say he felt fear and couldn't tell if he was going to get hit or not because he was too distracted with the phone.
But imo its clear he's filming this killing bc he planned it. He placed himself their and filmed so he could brag
In reporting from last month the WA Post via public records requests verified that ICE & CBP are waging an intentional media war.
DHS cops frequently work hand in hand with media production teams. Sometimes even with requests for the production of social media content coming down the chain of command to field agents.
So in short, its no mistake that CBP cop Jon Ross seemed to manufacturing a murder for Twitter and IG views.

In videos posted today from protests around Minneapolis' federal building activists and reporters noticed a media team riding along in CBP/ICE vehicles.
If you look closely in the first few seconds of this video you'll see the reporter and camera man exit the back row of an ICE vehicle.
After reviewing other angles and stills I believe this was Matt Finn, a Fox News reporter.
So we know the propaganda machine is in full swing in MPLS.

Protesters rightfully noticed the man who looks like Fox News reporter Matt Finn exiting the ICE vehicles and ask for his name and badge number and whether he is a cop.
The reporter refuses to identify himself.
In video, also from today, we can see the view from Fox News propagandists Matt Finn as he rides along with a DHS cop.
The two discuss how they are essentally driving around, waiting to get noticed as ICE/CBP and then planning to start conflict with anyone and everyone who "impedes" their aimless operation.
Fuck these Völkischer Beobachter reporters.
But here's the thing, ICE/CBP agents are not traffic cops.
If they have a problem with people's driving style they actually are probably supposed to call the local cops.
So if they really think that person took an illegal u-turn they need to call the cops like everyone else.
Being a bad or evening annoying driver isn't directly a crime and certainly isn't even "impeding" ICE's operations.
Since Renee Good's killing DHS has pledged to send an additional 500 ICE/CBP/DHS cops to Minnesota and likely the majority ending up in Minneapolis to re-enforce the already 2000 strong DHS fighting force.
This all despite multiple requests from the Mayor and Governeor Tim Walz for DHS to withdraw it's occupying force immediately.
There is a silver lining tho, this is requiring DHS to pull cops for other cities,

In this clip a US Army Ranger vet explains how ICE/CBP are clearly being ordered be as intimidating as possible.
He notes how they should NOT be wearing masks when not dealing with actual gangs who operate on the border..
He explains even how they wear their bullet proof vests is unnecessarily intimidating.
The vet explains these sorts of shows of force got troops hurt in Afghanistan bc the locals wouldn't wait for the next Renee Good to fight back.

Mayor Frey has been doing tons of interviews to advocate for ICE getting the fuck out of his city this week.
In this interview with The Bulwark he encourages artists, musicians and other performers to please come to the city and do their acts as planned and to support the protests while in town.
He points to the economic damper this fascist cop surge will have on the city and says his job is to enable as many of these sorts of events to be help despite oppression.

Frey mentions that ICE now accounts for 50% of the city's gun crime.
He expressed major concern that ICE agents (2,275) in the city now far outnumber the around 600 local cops. The concern is clearly visible on Frey's face when I speaks of the numerical superiority of the ICE/CBP cop surge.

Tim Walz has also stayed in the media cycle and is trying to keep the pressure up on ICE to leave. He spoke out yesterday explaining how the actions of ICE against Renee Good were unjustified.
He draws the conclusion that if ICE can do that to Renee then immediately go harass high school educators that these same sorts of incidents could become common in our schools.
Walz says that's a red line for him and he'll fight like hell to keep ICE away from kids.
Tonight thousands of everyday people in Minneapolis are holding noise demos at the hotels ICE is staying in.
It's our 1st admenment right to make sure ICE gets a horrible night of rests every night until they get the Fuck OUT!
Renee Good's partner, Becca, released a statement today about her death.

An OTG update earlier today from the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota shows workers fortifying the building to make it easier for CBP+ICE agents to keep protesters from slowing down their deportation processing operations.
In other clips large shipments of jersey barriers and barbed wire were seen being offloaded.
The feds are clearly planning not to leave MPLS as requested.

Despite the horror of Renee Good's murder, politicians telling ICE to get the fuck out and growing protests, ICE continues to abduct people in and around MPLS.
In this incident I think from today in St Paul Minnesota (not sure of the date OP privated) a family ordered DoorDash only to have their dasher followed to their home by ICE.
The family attempts to protect the woman and call local cops(as instructed by politicians) local cops tell them they will arrested if they don't comply fully 🚨
The above video account of ICE chasing a DoorDash into a customer's home is hear breaking.
The woman filming explains that she is a native a American and for lack of a better word they all sound scared shitless by what happened to Renne Good.
The family had kids in the home and the demand that ICE put down their guns.
The only thing the sheltered Hispanic women has to threaten these militarzed federal cops with is her tears.
There's a lot of revolutionary joy in the streets of Minneapolis tonight.
#MPLSProtest #minneapolis #minneapolisICE #ICEProtest #NoiseDemo
Watching live streams, the scene at the entrance to the ICE hotel is noisy af.
The crowd is peaceful but LOUD, they have shown a ton of respect for the hotel security personnel.
Bands and drummers filtered through the crowd to setup shop right in the doorway.
The 2 and half hour long live stream I had been watching just ended abruptly with this as the last frame.
Protesters appear to have been let in a side door and several have filed in.
They encountered two closed (but unclocked doors) and debated entering further.
Some young boys can be heard warning the crowd that their could be ICE cops on the other side setting a trap and most exited. Many others took their place then the stream ended the stream likely to protect ppl's identities.
When the stream resumed the citizen journalists were outside of the hotel facing off with local MPLS riot cops.
The local cops are now threatening to forcefully disperse the noise protests.
It sounds like the crowd became aware that the local cops were arriving right as the hotel side door was opened.
The vast majority of the crowd felt it was a trap and sounds like the local police did not have to physically remove anyone from the hotel bc the crowd had heads up they were about to get kettled.
The local cops appear to have just completed securing the entrances of the hotel and now are forming a road block to keep demonstrators away from the hotel.
Notably the local cops are armed primarily with knight sticks, pepper balls and other "non-lethals" (they still dangerous tho).
So far I've seen no local cops carrying rifles.
Every so often a snowball is thrown at the cop line.
There is ZERO reaction from these local cops, its as if snow balls and noise demos are not a lethal threat. These cops are clearly on their absolute best behavior, its not much but compared to ICE (and local cops in 2020) these guys appear to be doing their best to not unnecessarily threaten or intimidate the crowd.
It's wild, watching ICE I fully expect everyone to get gassed for them snowballs.
Not long after the police lines were formed the protests resumed marching and is now several blocks away.
The local cops now seems to have to decide between guarding the ICE hotel vs tailing the protesters and it looks like they're gonna stay at the hotel and make sure those evil goons get a quite rest of their night.
Sounds like the protest has dispersed for the night.
From what I saw on streams the protest tonight in Minneapolis was very peaceful with protesters occasionally enganging in civil disobeiance by being loud in hotel lobby's.
Not that protests need to be any of those things to be valid forms of struggle against oppression.
From witness statements on the streams it appears the both state and local cops were on tap to put down the protests and took active steps to encourage the crowd to disperse.
I'm not sure why dispersal was so important. I totally get keeping the crowds out of hotel lobbies but I really think if the Mayor and Governor meant what they say they should not be attempting to disperse a simple noise demo. Even if it goes late.
In fact they should make a point to NOT protect ICE at all anymore.
If the situation were clearly already out of control with respect to ICE being told by every level of local governement to leave Senator Amy Klobuchar has joined the chorus as well.
Listen carefully and you'll see that Klobuchar, just like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz is keeping an eye on the tactical situation.
They ALL are aware that their local cops are already out numbered and out gunned by ICE.
They are talking about literal battle when they talk like this.
The crisis facing the US is extremely serious.
A DC, Michael Fanone, cop who was nearly killed at the US Capitol on January 6th says that a couple "F" bombs and foul language from the Mayor and Governor are NOT enough to stop what's coming. Fanone retired from the force after Jan 6 bc he refused to serve with fascists sympathizers.
He predicts that Americans will have to begin excersizing their 2A rights bc strong words are not enough to stop ICE.
Many people might hear J6 cop Fanone's encouragement for folks to embrace their 2A rights and think he's talking about some Rambo shit I really don't think that's what he's talking about.
In this clip a few ICE agents enter a McDs that has a couple armed security.
The gaurds proactively tell ICE to leave.
Throughout the encounter ICE NEVER touches them, speaks in a whisper AND left empty handed.
Unarmed guards would have been cursed at, beat and arrested along with the migrants.
So when a noise demo get's dispersed under threat of force from the F bomb dropping Mayor it's makes me REALLY question which form of protest would be more effective at actually denting ICE's abduction numbers.
A couple noise demos? Mountains of broken bones, bruises and trauma from tailing ICE around?
Or just passing a lot of laws that make it easier for targeted communities to obtain firearms and CCWs licenses and making stand your ground legal against ICE.
I know the Mayor and Governor would probably say that they HAD to put down the protests bc otherwise these poor hotels, stuck between a rock and a hard place, would have to suffer the direct economic consequences of their windows being vandilaized all the time and local property values dropping from constant protests.
And I'm just like.... THATs actually the Free Market at work.
They need to get the fuck out the way and let these companies face consequences.
There's only worse options.
If we can't even for ONE NIGHT ensure that ICE has an impossible time sleeping and that letting them stay LITERALLY means economic ruin for EVERYONE involved then noise demos simply won't be allowed to even attempt to work.
These stats are staggering. The abductions are basically continuing unabated.
EVERY level of our government's systems are being weaponized to find soft targets to abduct when they are most isolated and we're not able to respond in time.
So anyways, ICE/CBP is playing in everyone's face in light of the threat to deploy National Gaurds against them.
The day after Walz made the threat to call the NG the commander of CBP Gregory Bovino staged a photo op at the Minnesota State Capitol which the right wing has been joking he'll soon be in command of.
I've never in my life seen this type of blatant disregard for the political norms of the US.
This is what Bovino did to mourn Renee Good's death.
"Haven't you learned?"
The ICE goon asked of two women observering him harass someone.
In a viral video from yesterday two women in Minneapolis who were observing ICE/CBP operations from their vehicle had their phone snatched from them. The CBP cop used intimidating references to Renee Good's murder this week alluring to the fact he hoped to find an excuse to shoot the,.

There's ALSO a viral video suggesting that the women were disappeared by ICE. This is NOT true both are home safe today according to the original poster's updates this morning. Mirrored below.
